Introduction to Finance Workshop

This workshop is designed for people taking on positions of financial responsibility in co-operatives and social enterprises. It takes them from basic concepts through to financial control and management, ensuring that they understand the difference between cash flow and profit and loss. It equips them with the terminology they will need to deal confidently with professionals and enables them to specify the investment needs of their enterprise. This is one of our most popular workshops and has been developed interactively with the needs of the client group.
